Too Cold Scorpio vs Dean Malenko
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dean Malenko and Too Cold Scorpio fought next and these two put on the
best match in WWA history. These two combined mat wrestling with high
flying and what resulted was a 4* matchup. Too Cold Scorpio went for
his Tumbleweed, but Malenko moved out of the way in the nick of time.
Malenko got up and hooked on the Texas Cloverleaf onto the hurt leg of
Scorpio. Scorpio really had no choice but to give up, but both men
received standing ovations. Malenko offered his hand out to Scorpio
and once Scorpio accepted Malenko dropkicked him in the knee! Malenko
continued to lay the boots to Scorpio until Robert Thompson ran out
for the save.
Dean Malenko made Too Cold Scorpio submit to the Texas Cloverleaf in

The Head Hunters vs The Untouchables
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Steve Strong came out next and man is he buff! He is about the same
size as Lex Luger or Hulk Hogan. He said he had found the perfect tag
partner to go up against The Head Hunters and that man...or beast as
he put it is The Barbarian!!! The Barbarian stormed down the aisle and
the match started. The Head Hunters didn't know who Strong's partner
was going to be so had no chance of preparing for anybody so they
really didn't stand a chance. The Barbarian picked up the win for the
Untouchables after hitting a flying headbutt.
The Untouchables defeated The Head Hunters when Barbarian pinned Head
Hunter #2
after a flying headbutt in 0:04:25.

Chris Benoit vs Bob Holly
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bob Holly tried to get a little bit of respect back from the WWA crowd
after his humiliating defeat at the hands of Goldberg and he did just
that. He went 26 minutes with Chris Benoit, one of the hardest hitting
individuals around. However, Benoit was finally too much for Holly and
he was forced to give up to the Crippler Crossface.
Chris Benoit made Bob Holly submit to the Crippler Crossface in

Steve Corino vs The Gladiator
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Gladiator came out next and simply dismantled Steve Corino. He
worked on the leg of Corino then on the arm, then the neck, then he
just beat him senseless before mercifully putting him away with the
Awesome Bomb. Afterwards The Gladiator asked Lyger why he was trying
to steal his thunder. Lyger came out and said that he was trying to do
nothing of the sort and was simply filling in for him. The Gladiator
didn't like that answer and nailed Lyger with a kick to the stomach
before planting him with the Awesome Bomb! Awesome left laughing while
Lyger had be carried out.
The Gladiator pinned Steve Corino with the Awesome Bomb in 0:14:25.

Owen Hart vs Ken Shamrock
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The next match had people who had feuded before go at it. Ken Shamrock
and Owen Hart both worked on eachother's legs, but Shamrock ended up
getting his finisher on first and that was all it took for Owen Hart
to be forced to tap out. Shamrock said he was unbeatable and said that
if anybody had the guts to come out and face him. The problem was that
both Destruction and Bill Goldberg had the guts! They both walked out
at the same time and neither one would budge. Finally it led to words
and the two brawled around the entire arena. Meanwhile Shamrock just
looked on until he was attacked by D-Lo Brown from behind! D-Lo laid the
boots to Shamrock and surprisingly Owen Hart joined in. The two
basically knocked Shamrock into unconcsiousness before leaving.
Ken Shamrock made Owen Hart submit to the Ankle Lock Submission in
